Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, has continued his firm stance against the LGBTQ community by pledging to put an end to what he called the “transgender madness” in the United States on his first day in office.
Speaking in Arizona on Sunday, December 22, Trump threatened the complete exclusion of LGBTQ individuals from the military and schools. He declared his administration’s intent to uphold a strict binary understanding of gender roles.
In his address, Trump stated, “There are only two genders: male and female.” This aligns with his previous hardline positions on LGBTQ rights and reflects the policies he plans to implement once he returns to the White House in about a month.
Trump further asserted, “The official policy of the United States government will be that there are only two genders: male and female.” His speech, delivered to a crowd of young conservatives in Phoenix, was marked by unequivocal promises to reverse the inclusion of transgender individuals in various aspects of American society.
Among his vows were executive orders to ban gender reassignment surgeries for minors, exclude transgender individuals from the military, and remove them from educational institutions. Trump also emphasized the importance of keeping men out of sports traditionally considered for women, stating, “I will keep men out of women’s sports.”
Trump’s speech underscores his administration’s anticipated rollback of policies aimed at protecting LGBTQ rights, signaling a sharp departure from progressive measures in recent years. His statements have drawn both applause from conservative circles and intense criticism from LGBTQ advocates and human rights organizations.
As Trump prepares for his return to the White House, the implications of these promises on the social fabric of the United States remain a source of heated debate. His administration’s approach to these issues could redefine the nation’s stance on gender identity and inclusivity in the years to come.
